The Good Old Times In Maine.

Mr.. l.. w. Small has in the oxford
county Record some interesting rcmin.
iscences of the old Cornish meeting
house of his boyhood. One of its quaint
institutions was the arrangement of the
pew ats on hinges Mr. Small says
that when the people arose for prayers
ard turned up the seats they ''made a
noise louder than thunder" The pull
pit had big gate which the preacher
closed with a bang after ne entered.
The building was never painted or
warmed. Women in delicate health
brought little iron boxes of live Goals
on which to place their feet.
Mr.. Small writes that the dedication
of the ediiice was celebrated with q
horse trot. The morals of those days
could not tolerate stove in the house
of worship, but permitted going to a
horse race and filling up with Medford
rum. The singers had the front pews
in this old meeting Louise, but during
the singing of the hymns the musical
people of the congregation used to go
forward, stand as near the regular sing
ers as possible, and help them out. Mr..
Small remembers gay widower who
was wont to 60 forward in q blue coat
with brass buttons, and had birch bark
placed in the soles of his shoes so they
would squeak and call the attention of
oil the women to his noble person.
After while they organized choir
with a bass viol and q clarionet in it. A
few Sundays passed and the conserva-
tives of the congregation rose in revolt,
declaring that as these instruments had
no souls il was wicked to employ them
IN worship. The viol and clarionet had
to 60. Later on, charging that the
leader of the choir was not a church
member, and ought not to sing praises
to God for the congregation, they ban
ished the choir, too.

A NEW AND NOVEL REMEDY.

Ills Flesh Reduced.
Prom the Omaha Hersld.)

Since he came to the White House the
President has been rapidly gaining
flesh, until he now weighs fifty pounds
more than he did when elected. He
does not take any exercise. He drives
out for an airing every pleasant after
noon in q comfortable carriage, but tue
ride doesn't give him any more exercise
than if he spent so much tim in rocl-
ing chair. He is getting to be 81 fat as
to be uncomfortable as we'll as ungainly.
and has been in consultation with a
doctor of the Swedish massage school.
This doctor does not prescribe any
drugs, nor does he use the Banting sys-
tenn, of dieting. H. simply recon-
mends the movement cure, and his treat
ment of the President is very funny. III
his excellency would only admit spec
tators he might make large fortune
by charging an ADHESION fee. 1t would
not be a very digni performance, but
people would 20 a long distance to see
the President of the whole United States
go through the motions. First the doc
tor makes him lie fat on his back on he
floor, stiiIen himself out with his arms
down at his side, and then RAISE lis feet
in the air with his heels together, until
his legs are al an angle OF forty-tive de-
gIees. This is repeated several times,
and until one has tried it lie cannot re-
alize how difficult and exbausting 1t is,

still, and none but accustomed gym

The third movement is TO ,tr,tch oat on

Whisky Soaked Letters.
WHY TWO RAILWAY MAIL CLERKS WE'RE
DISMISSED.

One Of the regulations OF the Railway
Mail Postal Service is to the effect that
postal clerks shall not take whisky with
them. externally or internally, on their
runs. Any small amount tucked away
snugly in pigeonhole would hardly be
apt TO bring Its owner into trouble; but
an unfortunate choice of hiding place
has resulted in the removal of two of the
postal clerks under the jurisdiction of
the Chi ago Superintendent. Yates,
one Of the clerks, took much needed
pledge to abstain from the use of liquors
when he secured the position, but one
night early this month Wise, the second
postal clerk, and he left Chicago very
much the worse for drink and with
flask of whisky for use on the trip. One
of the two slipped the flask into an
empty mail pouch and then went TO
sleep. Somebody else filled the pouch
with mail matter, and it eventually
reached Pekin, III. The flask was bro
ken and most OF the letters in he pouch
were the worst for a whisky bath. 1t is
alleged that, to make matters worse.
some of the good prohibitionists of the
town refused to take their whisky
soaked letters and proceeded to inausu-
rate a good sized row. The Postmaster
had therefore no alternative but 10 &C.
port the condition of the mail to head
quarters An investigation was at once
started here with the result that the two
young men in question were removed
for disobeying the regulations and carry
ing intoxicating liquors on their mali

minutes hefore the French carried the
redouht assigned to them.
"You don't remember me, General"
cried an old soldier, pressing through the
crowd assembled at the State house to
welcome Lafayette on his arrival in Bos-
ton. The General looked at him keenly,
holding the hand of the old man, who
added
Il was close to you when we stormed
our redoubt at Yorktown was Just be-

time when the internal forces of our
planet were sufficiently active TO give

streams, he thinks may have originated
